Dumb Question: If it’s Dangerous to Hitchhike Because of Arabs, Then How Could They be Trusted to Make Peace?

I’ll word it differently:

If we can’t trust that they won’t prey on us to kill us, then how can we trust them as “partners in peace,” sic?

There’s something very off in many people’s thinking. On one hand, they are willing to give Arabs land, independence and sovereignty, right here in the heartland of Israel. That they think can be done. They insist that Mahmoud Abbas who has just joined forces with Hamas is reliable and trustworthy. They insist that he is the “peace partner” we’ve (not me, but the politicians and media) always dreamed of.

So I just don’t understand how we can make peace with him but we can’t travel freely by foot, car or tremping where his followers may pass.

Our comments section is intended for meaningful responses and debates in a civilized manner. We ask that you respect the fact that we are a religious Jewish website and avoid inappropriate language at all cost.

If you promote any foreign religions, gods or messiahs, lies about Israel, anti-Semitism, or advocate violence (except against terrorists), your permission to comment may be revoked.

The people of the rest of the world that keep talking peace between Israel and the Arabs like to open their mouths and listen to their erudite comments….they don’t care whether Israel has peace or if your sons and daughters are kidnapped constantly or if your cars and your family are maimed by the rocks being thrown at it….of if you and your family are killed by the rockets being shot into your neighborhood….because IT ISN’T their homes or cars or families or country being destroyed…and after all, it is only the Jews only the Israelis being affected, so why would/should they worry.

But it is true. We shouldn’t hitchhike in these areas. I feel terrible for those boys and I badly want to see them home safe and unharmed but look at the cost to the IDF and other civilians when we do things like this. Same way I can’t hitchhike in South Africa or many other countries in the world. Unarmed civilians should not hitchhike in Israel. Period.

Jews created so called prophet Mohammed (since they created everything) , and Jews suffer the most of this creation !!! The hatred of Jews in the Quran and the biography of the said prophet exceeds all known hatred in the history of mankind.

The only land that belongs to Israel is the territory Israel declared as the sovereign extent of Israel, all in accord with the partition plan of Nov 1947, everything else is outside the borders of the state of Israel.

The rules are clear: Students told Haaretz that the yeshiva has a clear policy forbidding hitchhiking. “The administration is very strict on this topic, it’s a red line that every student knows. Students are forbidden from leaving without permission, and it is absolutely not allowed to catch rides outside of the Kibbutz’s gate.” Pupils caught hitching rides risk expulsion from the yeshiva.

We should have reached a point that it’s no longer necessary to even have a discussion about Palestinians/Arabs being viable peace partners. They have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are not interested in peace with Israel/Jews. The vast majority of them are anti semites only interested in seeing Jews die and Israel cease to exist. Done conversation over.

Well Faleen, Israel’s sons and daughters should have thought about the consequences of their governments policy of allowing and encouraging Israeli civilians to illegally settle in occupied territory, you know Faleen the Geneva Conventions banning such illegal acts are not there for any other reason than to protect civilians, from the dangers inherent in such practices.

GOD LOVES HIS CHILDREN,IT IS GODS COUNTRY,+GODS CHILDREN ARE NOT IDIOTS,,ARE YOU THE GUY WHO BROKE OUT OF A MENTAL WARD¿¿¿¿¿
READ YOUR BIBLE.
ARE YOU WITH OUT SIN???
NO YOU NOT…
GOD BLESS YOUR 3 CHILDREN AND BRING THEM HOME SAFE..

If we hear and understand our Lord’s Word, I believe He said annihialate your enemies completely. It seems the ones that don’t want peace are doing the annihialating!!!!! Arabs will always hate, and pillage, and murder. They have proved it many times. All I know is Jeruselum is God’s favorite place on earth, therefore it is mine too. We need to pull together to protect the land and the people the Lord has chosen! That means the Christians around the world, the Christian leaders around the world. If not, everyone will answer to our Lord when the time comes!!!!!

NEVER expect Anything from them, they are pathological liars. if They are capable of
kidnapping children , then as neighbors it would as dangerous as allowing a rattle snake into the chicken run. Just to see how the
snake would react.

I wrote to Obama at the WH online- please do so yourself. Particularly if you are a US citizen

Dear Mr Obama,

I will make this short and sweet. I blame you for what occurred to these innocent three children in Israel.

You have emboldened these monsters in the PA and approved of the unity government with Hamas, which is responsible for the kidnapping.

Your taking sides with the PA and doing everything in your power to weaken and delegitimize the Israeli government makes you the guilty party.

You have done more to hurt Israel than any other president, even worse than Carter if that is possible. The only satisfaction I have is that you will have to live with the consequences of your utter betrayal to the one ally in the Middle East. You stabbed us in the back. Shalom
